RE: Taking a knee on crime by criminals that are black
The rise in the murder rate in Chicago alone since BLM began their agitation is enough for me to condemn their whole narrative. There is a huge problem with systemic racism in the U.S. and its the racism of black people against everyone else especially white people and I cite as a source any one of the thousands of videos by Colin Flaherty document the racist attacks by black people on white people(and asian, hispanic and gay people).
A big part of this phenomenon is the assumption of racism because someone is white. In my city the chinese people(not the westernized chinese people) are known for having a very gruff manner(some would say their rude) but I have found that once you get to know them( and they realize you don't hate or look down on them) this changes to over the top friendliness.
When I worked in a in a Hip-Hop club with a %50 to %70 black clientele ( which in my city is a very big concentration) and would kick out a black person from the U.S. they would accuse me of being racist. "No you jerk I'm kicking you out because you can't stand without me holding you up". This never happened with black people from Nigeria, Columbia, Somalia, Jamaica or Zimbabwe.
Sometimes you need to remove the log from your own eye before worrying about the speck in someone else's.
but it's not all black folks, which is what I'm trying to stress; this happens in communities that the democrats have sabotaged and taught this attitude.
So yes, there is a prevalent attitude of racism in American blacks (one of the posts I've cited goes back to the attitude where trying to further on'es education is "acting white")
That doesn't mean there isn't racism in some whites, too, but it is the necessity of recognizing all possible causes and trying to find out which the the greatest.
Flaherty does good work, which wouldn't be necessary if the Ministry of Truth was actually an agent of news.
Of course its not all black people as a matter of fact its often black people who save people getting attacked. All the different groups are racist in one way or another, hell we didn't like people from the town across the river when I grew up! But racist attitudes or not liking some group is a whole different story than Raping, Murdering and Terrorizing people because of there race. I'm not saying that white racism isn't bad just that black racism is much, much worse and many people deny it exists at all.
I get you; discussing this issue is walking a minefield, not just from the fake outrage of the Left, but that race is a very personal issue for most people
